SAĞLIK EKONOMİSİ: KAVRAMSAL BİR YAKLAŞIM

Öz

Son yıllarda sağlık hizmetleri ile sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumu ve finansmanı konuları özellikle sağlık reformları ile birlikte yeniden tartışma konusu olmuştur. Bu sağlık ekonomisine olan ilginin giderek artmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada sağlık ekonomisi ve sağlık ekonomisinin ilgi alanını oluşturan sağlık hizmetleri farklılaşan özellikleriyle sunulmaktadır. Sonuç olarak sağlık ekonomisinin hem çok disiplinli yapısı hem de sağlık hizmetleri piyasasının belirsizlik, dışsallık gibi özellikleri nedeniyle ekonomi biliminin geleneksel yaklaşımından ayrıldığı görülmektedir.
